Chelsea beat Ajax 3-0 away in the first leg of the Women's Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday to close in on a second straight appearance in the last four of Europe's top competition.

Sjoeke Nuksen - The Canadian PressLONDON — Lyon and Chelsea underlined their status as two of the favorites for the Women's Champions League title by earning first-leg wins on the road in the quarterfinals on Tuesday.

France forward Delphine Cascarino equalized in the 63rd and Germany midfielder Sara Dabritz headed home a cross from United States captain Lindsay Horan for the winner in the 79th in Lisbon. Ajax is also competing in the knockout stage of the Champions League for the first time and caused plenty of problems for Chelsea early on at Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, only to concede goals from the visitors’ only two shots of the first half.

Nüsken headed in the third goal in the 83rd to leave Chelsea in total control ahead of the return match at Stamford Bridge, where the club's men's team plays.
